Sounds like an injector/overfueling or turbo issue. Black smoke is fuel, bad turbo will do that. Basically the engine is fueling for extra air that it's not getting, too much fuel = black smoke. But since it is non turbo, sounds like you have an injector sticking open or mechanical unit throwing too much pressure.

Overfueling will kill the power, that's for sure.

If you just revived this thing after sitting, make sure the intake and exhaust isn't partially plugged by critters.

If it's been sitting awhile, you also might have stuck rings.

Or, what you're experiencing is the reason the bus was parked in the first place.
